src Proto-Oncogene Protein pp60

Medical Condition:
src Proto-Oncogene Protein pp60

Membrane-associated tyrosine-specific kinase encoded by the c-src genes. It has an important role in cellular growth control. Truncation of carboxy-terminal residues in pp60(c-src) leads to pp60(v-src) which has the ability to transform cells. This kinase pp60 c-src should not be confused with csk, also known as c-src kinase. EC 2.7.1.-.
